Seokchon Lake (石村湖公園)

Seokchon Lake is a beautiful urban lake located next to Lotte World Tower, offering a serene escape from Seoul’s busy streets. Divided into two sections, the East Lake is known for its cherry blossoms in spring, while the West Lake features Lotte World’s fairytale-like Magic Island. In April, the Seokchon Lake Cherry Blossom Festival transforms the park into a magical scene, attracting thousands of visitors. In autumn, the lake is equally stunning with golden-hued trees reflecting in the water. Joggers and walkers enjoy the picturesque 2.5 km trail around the lake, while photographers capture the perfect shots of Seoul’s tallest skyscraper reflected in the water. With nearby attractions like Lotte World, Lotte Aquarium, and Seoul Sky Observatory, Seokchon Lake is a perfect stop for relaxation and photography while exploring the Jamsil area.
